My (fake) real interview w/ Phillipe Gilbert after GP Wallonie.
TP: Hey, Phil. First off, thanks for sitting down with me. I am a huge fan of yours. Congrats on today at GP Wallonie, Canada and leading the WorldTour ranking. PG: Oh hey Taylor. Yeah thank you. I would say … Continue reading
My thoughts on the Radioshack-Luxembourg combine.
Wow, say it ain’t so… Hearing rumors of these two teams being welded together I could not believe it would ever happen. As of today, officially, the amount of riders and staff without jobs for next year from both sides … Continue reading

The breaking point, keeping my chin up and looking forward. Stage 13:
Today my body let me know that enough, was enough. After a terrible sleep last night I woke up lacking a fair amount of confidence going into today’s stage. I remember back after my rebound from stages 4, and 5, … Continue reading

Afraid of rest. Pre Stage 11 Blog:
It is very strange. After the time trial, I was more worried about the rest day than any other day we have completed so far. While this might sound absolutely ludicrous, hear me out. For 10 days I beat my … Continue reading

Wowza. That really, really hurt. Today’s TT was a long one, 47km to be exact–I think it is actually the longest TT I have ever done both in distance and time. To be quite honest, I really don’t know why … Continue reading

As I write this, we are attempting to drive down the mountain we just climbed up by bike–in the bus, in a traffic jam. Lovely! It’s not too bad actually…now that I found my phone that had wedged itself in … Continue reading
Finally moving. Stage 8:
Song for the day: I believe that I stole this quote from my father, but damn, it feels good…to feel good. When I went to bed last night, I knew today was going to be a better day for me. … Continue reading
